The Difference Between our Remington 700 Triggers
Jan 22nd 2024
We have been making triggers since 1946, and in 1965 we released our first ever Remington 700 trigger, just three years after the of the Model 700. Over the years, we have seen the Model 700 platform grow, and we have always been right there, ensuring our triggers bring the best out of the rifles.
As the platform grew, and new blueprint models were introduced to the market, we created new triggers designed for specific uses that fit in all Model 700 style rifles. Whether you enjoy big game hunting, target shooting in your spare time, or high-intensity PRS competitions, we have a trigger solution for you. As of 2024, we have six different triggers dedicated to shooters who are looking to elevate their accuracy and upgrade their shooting abilities.
Below is a complete guide to all our Model 700 triggers. We described them, linked them, and even compared them to their closest relative in the Model 700 trigger collection. We did the work so you don’t have to! Now the only thing you need to do, is figure out what kind of finish and shoe you want on your brand-new trigger.

Elite Hunter Remington 700
The Elite Hunter is by far the fan favorite of the Model 700 triggers we offer. Since its release, the Elite Hunter has been the customer choice Remington 700 trigger and has even become our most popular hunting trigger in recent years! The Elite Hunter was designed for avid hunters who want a consistent trigger that elevates their accuracy so the only thing you have to worry about is how many layers to bundle up in.
- - 2 – 4 lb. pull weight
-
- - Fully adjustable for pull weight and overtravel
- - Closest trigger sibling: the Impact 700 & Remington 700 Two-Stage

The HIT Remington 700
Just as the Elite Hunter was made for hunters, the HIT was made with one thing in mind: long range precision. The HIT is popular among competition and benchrest shooters because it consistently delivers accuracy when you need it. In fact, the HIT is so notorious for its long range abilities that it was used to break the world record for farthest long range shot. Learn more about the set up here.
- - 8 oz – 2 lb. pull weight
- - Fully adjustable for pull weight and overtravel
- - Closest trigger sibling: Calvin Elite Remington 700 & Remington 700 Two-Stage Light

Calvin Elite Custom Remington 700
Next up in our Model 700 trigger list is the infamous Calvin Elite Custom Remington 700, or 700 CE for short. Just like the HIT, the 700 CE was designed for long range shooters to get the most out of their rifles when hunting or shooting competitively. In fact, the HIT and 700 CE are so similar they’re basically fraternal twins! The pull weight and functionality of the two triggers are almost identical, the main difference between the HIT and 700 CE is the fact that the 700 CE comes with adjustable shoes.
- - 8 oz – 2 lb. pull weight
- Fully adjustable for pull weight and overtravel
- - Closest trigger sibling: The HIT

Remington 700 Two-Stage
The Remington 700 Two-Stage, also known as the 533, was made for those who love the Elite Hunter but prefer two stages over one. Boasting the same benefits as the Elite Hunter, the 533 was made for two-stage lovers who want to get the most out of their rifle in their next hunt.
Along with the Elite Hunter, the 533 has another close sibling (look below!): the Remington 700 Two-Stage Light, or 532. The 533 and the 532 are essentially identical twins, the only difference between these two triggers is the pull weight – the 533 is heavier, and the 532 is lighter.
- - 1 lb. first stage, 1.5 – 3.5 lb. second stage
- - Total combined pull weight between 2.5 – 4.5 lbs.
- - Fully adjustable for pull weight and overtravel
- - Closest trigger sibling: The Elite Hunter & Remington 700 Two-Stage Light

Remington 700 Two-Stage Light
Just like the Elite Hunter has a two-stage sibling, the HIT also has two-stage sibling, and that is the Remington 700 Two-Stage Light, as known as the 532. The HIT and the 532 have similar qualities, the main difference being that the 532 has two stages rather than one – even the pull weights are similar between these two!
Along with the HIT, the 532 has another close sibling (look above!): the Remington 700 Two-Stage, or the 533. The 532 and 533 are essentially identical twins, the only difference between these two triggers is the pull weight – the 532 is lighter, and the 533 is heavier.
- - 8 oz. first stage, 8 oz. – 2 lb. second stage
- - Total combined pull weight between 1 – 2.5 lbs.
- - Fully adjustable for pull weight and overtravel
- - Closest trigger sibling: The HIT & Remington 700 Two-Stage

The Impact 700 was made for budget-minded hunter who want a great trigger at an even better price. This trigger is most closely related to the Elite Hunter – the main difference between the Elite Hunter and the Impact 700 is the adjustability. The Impact 700 is a nonadjustable trigger that comes factory at 3 – 4 lbs., and it’s our only Remington 700 trigger that is not adjustable. It’s a great option for those who like the Elite Hunter but don’t want the extra adjustability that it offers.
- - 3 – 4 lb. pull weight
- - Nonadjustable
- - Single stage
- - Closest trigger sibling: The Elite Hunter
